🍃 Returning to Simplicity: Our Philosophy

In an era where writing software and AI tools are becoming increasingly complex, heavy, and bloated with endless configurations, WitNote stays true to its original purpose:

> Fast, distraction-free, and elegant Markdown dual-pane editing.

We focus on doing the core essentials to perfection:

⚡ Instant Open: Open any local .md / .txt file or vault instantly without waiting.
🌓 Pure Dual-Pane: Write on the left, live-render on the right (with full GFM & LaTeX math support).
📴 Offline First: All files remain 100% on your local disk.
🤖 Lightweight AI Companion: AI is not a complicated, intrusive agent here—it functions simply as an offline encyclopedia, translator, and writing assistant.

🍎 Apple Ecosystem (Native Swift Architecture)

For macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, WitNote has transitioned to a 100% pure native architecture written in Swift & SwiftUI.

Why Native? Native Apple architecture deeply integrates with Apple Silicon hardware and macOS system energy-efficiency frameworks, offering instantaneous startup, buttery-smooth scrolling, and zero runtime container overhead.
Mac App Store: Directly search "WitNote" on the App Store or Click Here to Download to enjoy official sandbox protection and silent updates.
iOS & iPadOS: Native mobile versions are currently under active development.
(Note: Mac users who prefer the open-source Electron build can still compile and run it from source code.)

📦 Open Source Releases (Windows & Linux)

The open-source edition will continue active, long-term development, dedicated to providing the cleanest cross-platform Markdown workspace for Windows and Linux users.

From v2.0.1 onward, official binary packages natively support both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures:

Platform	Architecture	Package Format	Download
🪟 Windows	x86_64 (Intel/AMD)	Setup Installer (`.exe`)	Releases
🪟 Windows	ARM64 (Snapdragon/Surface)	Setup Installer (`.exe`)	Releases
🐧 Linux	x86_64 / ARM64	Universal AppImage (`.AppImage`)	Releases
📦 Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)	x86_64 / ARM64	Debian Package (`.deb`)	Releases

✨ Key Features (v2.0.1)

📝 Pure Markdown & File Vault — Open any folder directly as a workspace. No databases, no proprietary lock-in. Everything is a file.
🧮 Flawless LaTeX & Code Blocks — Robust math rendering for multi-line formulas, alignments, matrices, and code highlighting.
🛡️ Hardened Security — Built-in DOMPurify sanitization; links open safely in your default browser.
🤖 Clean AI Integration — Connect effortlessly with Ollama (local powerful models) or Cloud API (DeepSeek, OpenAI, etc.) with quick one-click context clearing.
🎨 Minimalist Card UI — Clean frosted glass aesthetic, custom themes (Light / Dark / Tea), and focus mode.
